How It Works

YouTube stores every video's thumbnail at predictable image URLs on its img.youtube.com servers, in several fixed sizes. This tool extracts the 11-character video ID from the link you paste and builds those image URLs directly; nothing is uploaded and no server is involved.

• Max resolution (1280×720): only available if the video was uploaded in HD.
• Standard (640×480), high (480×360), medium (320×180), small (120×90): available for virtually every video.

The Download button saves the image directly. If your browser blocks the cross-site download, the image opens in a new tab instead, where you can right-click and choose "Save image as…". Thumbnails may be subject to copyright; make sure you have the right to reuse them.
